In Buenos Aires, Governor Axel Kicillof has faced legislative and political challenges regarding provincial and national policy. The Buenos Aires Senate recently blocked two major health initiatives proposed by Kicillof due to a lack of a two-thirds majority. These projects aimed to establish a state-owned pharmaceutical laboratory and integrate the provincial health system through the Sistema Integrado de Salud de la Provincia de Buenos Aires (SIPBA). Following these legislative setbacks, Kicillof criticized the national government under President Javier Milei, accusing the administration of withdrawing national resources and failing to meet federal financing obligations for schools. He also rejected the national ‘educational freedom’ project, arguing it creates a link between educational access and family income. Recently, the Buenos Aires Province Legislature passed new regulations affecting secondary schools and traffic safety. A new law restricts the use of cell phones and digital screens in both public and private secondary schools, unless teachers authorize their use for pedagogical purposes. This measure affects approximately 1.4 million students and will require further provincial regulation to establish implementation protocols. Furthermore, the province has overhauled its traffic laws by modifying intersection priority rules. The reform ends the absolute rule of right-hand priority, instead granting precedence to vehicles on higher-ranking roads, such as highways and avenues, over those on streets or alleys. This change aims to provide legal certainty and prevent judicial conflicts. During a commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the provincial Common Education Law, Kicillof reiterated his opposition to national education policies, arguing that reduced funding threatens the public system and increases inequality.
